How to Keep a Journal (complete step by step guide)
I got a message yesterday from a dear friend; he has been following the series and just got himself a beautiful journal. Just in case you are wondering, what is in a journaler’s tool kit?

What has held you back from journaling? In this blog post, I’m sharing 5 common myths and the real thing about journaling. Let’s jump right in, #MYTH 1 JOURNALING IS A GIRLY THING One of the myths of your journaling is that it is something girls do and has to take a dear diary format.

MY DISCOVERY From time to time, I’d go back and read portions of my journals. Different reasons actually prompt this task such as boredom, a bout of writer’s block, need a little bit of motivation, ginger, or simply looking for information I must have put in…

Diligent Hands Rule
During the sendforth program for our Batch B brethren at one of our Bible Study centres, the brethren shared their Adamawa experiences. How God used the journey to mould them and bring out virtues in them. A brother made a striking statement, he said “I arrived the land with a meager amount of #1,500… But learnt very quickly that God doesn’t bless empty hands.” No wonder bible says, “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.” Prov. 10:4 Shalom! So folks, I’m working on a project. People desire to live a successful life but most times, it seems something is holding them back. What that something…

Terrific Life Principle to Live By
At the family house last night, devotion was a blessing. I’d share some of the wisdom I gleaned. WWJD: What Would Jesus Do? A commonly asked question when in search of direction, insight or clarity over matters. In fact, a multitude of believers grew up using this question as a model to find answers. The minister explained that to receive insight into what Jesus would do, we have to first understand What Jesus Did while here on earth. This statement, made a resounding sense to me. Because the topic for the week is As He Walked. He being Jesus, our perfect example from the Father. As we focus on Him,…

Today, I will share a secret with you. Everyone is in search of green or even greener pastures. And that’s fine. I mean who wouldn’t want to leave a pit of miry clay for his feet to be planted on the solid rock. It is a good aspiration! A great pursuit and if you find it (i.e. your green pasture), then a blessed accomplishment. Yet, as humans, we stumble on a lot of things because of our limited knowledge. We make mistakes because we assume we know exactly what we are looking for. Most commonly, we think Green pasture is first about the characteristics of a geographical location. Of course,…

My Personal Struggle With Inertia
When it comes to writing, I struggle at times. My struggles come mainly from the task of writing itself and seldom what to write. Even when I know what to write, I almost do not feel like writing; I mean putting the pen to paper or fingers to the keypad. I’d scribble my thoughts down on some occasions and discard it for lack of delivery of my exact thoughts and intents. Writing can be a chore! There are times I almost do not feel like writing, yet I must! It has been a while I posted here, basically for the above stated reason… I ask for your attention as you…
